Deep green/gold in color. The nose is very tight but eventually opens to show some peach along with a bit of white flowers. On the palate, there is a nice underlayer of minerality here. Sour apples on top. Drinking very well with a bit of air but even better with a selection of Austrian cheeses. Good finish. This retails for $53, so you can make your own value judgments. It is very enjoyable. It will be interesting to see how it develops from here.

This is a good wine, but given its $96 price tag, it was disappointing. A slight amount of trapped CO2. Medium gold in color. Slight sulfur to the nose but otherwise pretty tight. Some asparagus and limes. On the palate, this is soft. It has a dusty taste with slight limes. No obvious faults here. Given the pedigree, it may be shut down hard right now though that's not something usually associated with GV. Good acidity. Worked well with food. It did not seem to change in any respect for the two and a half hours in the glass.
This is resally drinking nicely right now. Maybe give it just a bit of air. Light golden in color. The nose has peas, slight white pepper and pears. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has good, not intense acidity. Nice mouthfeel. The pears continue thru and give it some edge. Very persistent finish. Drinking well, it won't get better but should last for another five years. A nice match with lighter summer foods or on its own.
This is a Biodynamic (Demeter) wine imported by Terry Theise. Yellow green in color. The nose has white flowers, minerals and slight asparagus note. On the palate, this is soft. Nice minerals and limes. It seems ever so slightly sweet but then turns tart. Nice finish. Easy drinking and food friendly. $30
Yellow green in color. A bit of sulfur on the nose along with some limes and minerals. Slightly oily texture. Slightly crisp. Finishes a bit soft. Overall a nice wine that should work well with food. It did seem like many 2016's this lacked a bit of acidity.
This is a very nice value. It retails for $15. Medium gold in color. The nose has white flowers, slight lime and slight fresh asparagus. On the palate, there is good acidity. It has a len texture but not wimpy. Nice lime and a lot of minerality. Good finish. Dry. Very food friendly. A perfect white for a summer night.
